Initially the switch is open, and the capacitor is completely discharged. Immediately after the switch is closed, the magnitude of the potential difference across the resistor is 1.greater than that across the capacitor. 2.equal to that across the capacitor. 3.less than that across the capacitor.

Initially the switch is open, and the capacitor is charged with a charge Q to a voltage V. After the switch is closed, the magnitude of the potential difference across the resistor, v R, is best represented by which selection: R C t vRvR V 1 t vRvR V 3 t vRvR V 2 4. The resistor voltage is zero at all times in this case.
